Answer 1

To determine which bowling alleys Isaiah can afford for a specified number of games, we can calculate the total cost for 5 games at each bowling alley and for 6 games at Bowlera.

1. Alley Cats:

   • Price per game: $3.45
   • 5 games: \(5 \times 3.45 = 17.25\)

2. Bowlera:

   • Price per game: $4.56
   • 6 games: \(6 \times 4.56 = 27.36\)

3. Pin Can:

   • Price per game: $4.78
   • 5 games: \(5 \times 4.78 = 23.90\)

4. Bowl n Skate:

   • Price per game: $3.99
   • 5 games: \(5 \times 3.99 = 19.95\)

Now, we will compare these totals to Isaiah's budget of $23:

• Alley Cats for 5 games: $17.25 (affordable)
• Bowlera for 6 games: $27.36 (not affordable)
• Pin Can for 5 games: $23.90 (not affordable)
• Bowl n Skate for 5 games: $19.95 (affordable)

Conclusion

The two options he can afford are:

• 5 games at Alley Cats
• 5 games at Bowl n Skate
